Wikipedia has been bans from operating in Turkey.
President of Turkey,Recep Tayyip Erdogan has banned Wikipedia in the Islamic country for what the Turkish government described as a 'smear campaign against Turkey and Erdogan.
The popular online encyclopedia contained comments, articles and statements linking the country to terrorist activities with some articles saying Turkey worked "in coordination and alignment" with terrorist groups.
Announcing the ban on Sunday, Turkish Ministry of Transport, Maritime Affairs and Communications said the site has been banned in the country after their numerous pleas to the site to take off 'malicious' articles fell on deaf ears.
According to the Turkish government, Wikipedia's ban will be reversed when they take off all negative and malicious contents from their site.
